According to internal Volvo documents obtained by Jalopnik, Volvo will stop selling the V70 wagon (pictured above) in North America and will reduce the number of engine choices for model year 2011.

According to the document, V70 sales have lagged behind sales of the XC60, XC70, and XC90 crossovers since 2000, so it no longer makes sense to sell the wagon in the U.S. and Canada. To appease buyers, Volvo will add a front-drive option for the XC70 starting next year. The V70 will continue to be sold in other markets worldwide. The V50 wagon is unaffected.

Volvo will also consolidate its engine lineup. The S40 sedan and V50 wagon will henceforth only be offered with Volvo’s turbocharged, 227-hp T5 engine with front-wheel drive and automatic transmissions. The naturally aspirated 2.4i engine disappears, as does the option to equip T5 models with all-wheel drive and six-speed manual transmissions. The reasoning is that the T5 engine offers equivalent fuel economy with more power than the 2.4i unit.

Finally, the S80 sedan will lose its optional V-8 engine. For next year, Volvo plans to revise the turbocharged T6 engine to make 300 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, as well as improve fuel economy by nine percent. Volvo says this makes the top-spec V-8 option (311 hp, 325 lb-ft) redundant. A naturally aspirated V-6 remains the S80’s base engine, and the V-8 engine will continue to be offered in the Volvo XC90.
